Our Leadership Team

The leadership team here at The North Shore Bridge Church consists of men and women who love, care and pray for our people.

  • Senior Pastors Drew & Liz  - Leadership and passion to enjoy God

    Drew and Liz form a dynamic and caring pastoral team with a heart to motivate, empower, and release people into their gifts and callings. 

          After a 26-year career as an engineer with Texas Instruments in Dallas, Drew became The Bridge’s Senior Pastor, together with his wife, Liz, in 2010.  Bob Jones told Drew that he’s a “Praiser who leads people into praising God.” Drew does this by passionately enjoying God and encouraging others to do the same. He loves to sense and communicate what God is doing in the moment. Pastor Drew is a certified Master Dream Interpreter who has trained hundreds of people how to decipher the meaning of dreams by listening to the Holy Spirit and using common sense Biblical principles.

          Liz was born in London, graduated from Salvation Army College, and pastored a Salvation Army parish church in England. She also worked in children’s ministry and for the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society before marrying Drew and relocating to live amongst, in her words, “The rebel colonies.” Her longing is to worship God through music and personal times with Him. Her heart is to see people become passionate for Christ.

    Matteo has God's heart for the broken, lost, and forgotten ones in society.  He has a special passion to help men coming out of prison and oversees a weekly online support group through the Full Gospel Business Men's Boston chapter.  Evangelism is sprinkled in everything he does.  He combines this with a zeal to see people engage in lively genuine worship.  Matteo loves God's presence and motivates people to engage in extravagant worship with a special openness to the gifts of the Spirit.  Pastor Matteo believes in creative expressions of faith and is currently building drama, and movement ministry in this fellowship.

Our Beliefs

We affirm the Nicene Creed, taken from the early days of the church:

 

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father. And he will come again in glory to judge both the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.


 

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And we believe in one holy universal and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Our Founding Father

John Paul Jackson planted the Boston North Shore Bridge Church in 2005. Even though in 2015 he passed from this life to his eternal home in heaven, he left a deposit of his spiritual DNA which remains with us.

 

John Paul also founded Streams Ministries International in Flower Mound, Texas.
